D3. Cyber-Harassment Student Survey
Thank you for participating in this survey.
School __________________________ Grade ________ Gender ________
Harassment occurs when a student, or several students, say mean and hurtful things or make fun of
another student or call him or her mean and hurtful names, completely ignore or exclude him or her from
their group of friends, or leave him or her out of things on purpose, tell lies or spread false rumors about
him or her, send mean notes and try to make other students dislike him or her, and other hurtful things
like that. When we talk about harassment, these things happen repeatedly, and it is difficult for the student
being harassed to defend himself or herself. We also call it harassment when a student is teased repeatedly
in a mean and hurtful way. But we don’t call it harassment when the teasing is done in a friendly and
playful way. Also, it is not harassment when two students of about equal strength or power argue or fight.
